 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey i am trying to organise my first ski trip.
I would LOVE to go skiing near Geneva for two days.
1. Flights = £50 RETURN to geneva (going out monday, returning thursday) + £40 to put SKIS ON A PLANE -.- (just noticed the extra outrageous cost)
2. Hotel = Found one a few miles from hotel for £50 a night * 3 nights = £150
3. Lift pass = Its not exact but £30 a day? *2 = £60
4. Transport from geneva -> the piste (I have no idea can anyone suggest anything? is there any shuttle buses or coaches?)
Total = £300pp Not including food etc.
Does that sound REASONABLE to you skiers with experience? Or is this just a pipe-dream and costs are likely to SPIRAL.
Id like any advice you have to offer as i am new to skiing (only started in 2009)

Sainter,
My guess is that you will be better off finding a hotel near the skiing even at a slightly larger cost two return trips from Geneva is likely to be far more expensive than a slightly higher hotel bill and qhuite time consuming. Cheap car hire for a couple of days is often OK.
It will almost certainly be easier and no more expensive renting skis rather than carting them around with you.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Try www.ucpa.com for inclusive costs. You can get a 2 night stay inclusive of skis, lift pass, food, ski guide, for as little as 120 euro (£100) per person in the Chamonix valley. Transfers from Geneva to Chamonix valley can cost as little as 20 euro (£17) each way, £34 return. So in fact you could do it all for £50 + £100 + £34 = £184, leave your skis at home.

Sainter, a few more details would help. Is it really your first ever trip? If so, how come you have skis to take with you?
When are you planning to go? that makes a huge difference to everything. Your budget doesn't include lessons - are you not planning to have any lessons?

I'm so glad you've said this! I read it first thing this morning, and held off replying as I thought it was a wind-up. Apologies to the OP if it's serious, but.........
